Care & Maintenance

To maintain your katana's appearance and performance over time, we recommend:

- Regularly wiping the blade with a soft cloth to remove fingerprints and moisture.
- Applying a light coat of choji oil to prevent rust (for carbon steel blades).
- Storing the sword in a dry place, preferably inside its saya.
- Avoiding direct contact with hard surfaces to preserve sharpness and finish.

For more care tips, check our full maintenance guide in the FAQ section.

Behind the Blade

Every katana we offer carries the essence of centuries-old craftsmanship.

More than just a weapon, the katana symbolizes discipline, honor, and mastery.

Our artisans draw inspiration from traditional forging methods to ensure each blade reflects the spirit of the samurai - strength, precision, and soul.

Owning one is not just about aesthetics - it’s about carrying a piece of that legacy.

User Experience

This katana is designed to offer a perfect balance between blade and handle.

Its ergonomic tsuka (handle) allows a secure two-handed grip, while the weight distribution ensures smooth, fluid movement.

Sold for collection and display. Handle carefully when placing on a stand or carrying out maintenance.

Straight blades and changing color / Yoru no Kage

Yoru no Kage Ninjato: A Gradient Blade and Openwork Guard

Blue, purple and warmer tones move across the Yoru no Kage blade. The navy-and-gold handle picks up those colors, while a round openwork guard adds a lighter outline between the blade and wrapping. It is a straight ninja sword with plenty of detail, even before you look at the decorated black scabbard.

The blade

Color along a straight manganese steel blade

The 72 cm blade is listed as manganese steel with a twilight gradient finish. The close-ups show cool blue and purple shades beside warmer reflections. Color can look different as the light changes, so compare the full view with the detail photographs. The finish is part of the design; it does not establish a particular steel hardness or heat-treatment method.

The fittings

Navy cotton and a round openwork guard

Navy-and-gold cotton crosses over white synthetic rayskin on the handle. Beside it, the brass guard has a radiating pattern of open loops. A matching navy-and-gold sageo ties the black lacquered wooden saya, which also carries silver-colored circular decoration. These repeated colors help the handle and scabbard feel like one set.

A different look for a ninja sword

Yoru no Kage uses a straight blade without the plain wood fittings of Kagehana or Shizen. If the ninja sword shape appeals to you but you prefer a wrapped handle, this is the combination to examine. Compare the guard, cotton and blade finish in our ninjato collection rather than choosing by the steel name alone.

In your collection

Let the blade color show

A natural wood display stand is included with the sword and saya. Leave room for the listed 105 cm overall length. A simple background helps the colored blade and circular scabbard decoration remain visible without competing with other patterns in your display.

Caring for your Yoru no Kage ninjato

Follow the Care & Maintenance instructions above and keep the blade dry. Avoid abrasive polishing products on the colored finish or decorated fittings. Use a soft cloth for the lacquered saya and keep blade oil away from the cotton wrapping and cord.

Yoru no Kage ninjato questions

What makes the Yoru no Kage blade different?

Its manganese steel blade has a twilight gradient finish. The photographs show blue, purple and warmer tones along a straight blade, paired with navy-and-gold fittings.

Is the colored finish a hamon?

The gradient is a surface appearance, not a listed clay-tempered hamon. No specific coating process or genuine temper line is claimed in this model's specifications.

How does this ninjato compare with a katana?

Yoru no Kage has a straight blade instead of a curved katana profile. Its blade is 72 cm long, so the main difference here is shape and styling, not a shorter blade.

What is the handle wrapping made from?

The ito is navy-and-gold cotton over white synthetic rayskin. The sageo on the scabbard also uses navy-and-gold cotton.

What does the guard look like?

It is a round brass guard with radiating openwork and gold- and silver-colored details. The close-up shows the looped pattern around the blade.

What kind of scabbard is included?

The saya is black lacquered wood with silver-colored circular ornaments. It comes with the sword and a natural wood display stand.

How much space does it need?

The specifications list 105 cm overall, with a 72 cm blade and a 30 cm handle. Allow additional room around the stand so the sword and saya sit securely.

Is the Yoru no Kage ninjato sharp?

Yes, it is listed as sharpened with full-tang construction. It is sold for collection and display. Keep the blade secure and handle it carefully when arranging or maintaining your collection.

Good sword, small issue on arrival

Saya mouth was slightly loose when I got it, fitting tape sorted it. Balance is great though. People at my dojo always ask about it.

Way better than I expected

Hamon is clean, handle wrap tight, saya closes solid. Came in a wooden box. No complaints at all for the price.

Nice blade but took 2 weeks to arrive

Damascus looks great. Shipping to Portland took forever and tracking was dead for a week. Quality is there, logistics need work.
